US President Donald Trump says he is negotiating with Russia on Ukraine, Iran and other issues, defending his diplomatic approach despite criticism over his handling of the war in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters outside the White House before departing for a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of obstructing efforts to end the war and suggested Ukraine should appoint someone else to lead negotiations. He also defended his approach to Russia, saying Moscow had refrained from interfering in US actions against Iran.
